232OC: Location, Location, Location
Location, location, location, repetitive obviously but of paramount importance nonetheless and South Boston certainly checks all three location boxes. While South Boston has been one of the busiest neighborhoods for development in the city, there are still a few pockets that have yet to be saturated with new projects. The Dorchester Ave. corridor, 144 acres between Andrew Square and Broadway Station is one such location. Several boutique projects including 232 OC have been completed in this area, but the upcoming Washington Village is set to really transform the face of this corner of Southie. Samuels & Associates announced last week that they plan to kick off construction by year’s end, bringing nearly 700 new residences and 100,000 square feet of retail and restaurant space to this formerly industrial area.
When the city set out guidelines for their South Boston Dorchester Ave. Planning Initiative they envisioned transforming these 144 acres into a prime mixed-use transit-oriented neighborhood within the next 10-15 years. Early projects to the neighborhood, like 232 Old Colony, will benefit from the further redevelopment of the area. Washington Village is a key piece of the puzzle here as it’s retail, restaurant and open public spaces will help create a sense of place for this area. Savvy buyers looking to get into the neighborhood before it is fully realized can snag one of the remaining brand new condos at 232 OC directly across the street from the Washington Village site.
As this section of Southie continues to grow, properties ahead of the curve, like 232 OC will continue to gain value based on this prime location. These modern units feature spacious floor plans and large windows along with luxury finishes including quartzite countertops and hardwood flooring throughout. Along with easy access to the MBTA, 232 OC is just a few blocks from the beach, Moakley Park, and historic Dorchester Heights.
